Column on Euro­pean Super­vi­sion

Sol­vency II - keep it sim­ple!

Sol­vency II, the new Euro­pean super­vi­sory sys­tem, has only ente­red into force about one year ago. Howe­ver, while the sys­tem is still in the pro­cess of war­ming up, super­vi­sory aut­ho­ri­ties are already con­si­de­ring to change its rules. It would not...

No to a super­vi­sory mis­h­mash for EU finan­cial mar­kets

Insu­rers’ busi­ness models are fun­da­men­tally dif­fe­rent to those of other finan­cial ser­vices pro­vi­ders – this must be taken into account if EU finan­cial super­vi­sion is restruc­tu­red. The column of Jörg von Fürs­ten­werth, Chair­man of the GDV...

Auto­mo­bile secu­rity is not divi­si­ble

There is no dri­ving without risk and dri­ver­less cars won’t change that. None­t­he­less, if society is to accept this new tech­no­logy, the sys­tems must be more secure than human dri­vers, clai­med the Ethics Com­mit­tee on auto­no­mous dri­ving last week.

Open books and com­pa­ra­ble finan­cial state­ments

Life insu­rers can meet their lia­bi­li­ties. Whoe­ver says other­wise doesn’t under­stand Sol­vency II. Moreo­ver, the ins­urance sec­tor stands at the thres­hold of ano­ther mile­stone in achie­ving com­pa­ra­bi­lity bet­ween insu­rers: the new accoun­ting stan­dard...

More entre­pre­neu­rial free­dom for Europe

The EU is defi­ni­tely not short of regu­la­tion, alt­hough it is behind in imple­men­ting its rules. That is why we will con­ti­nue to advo­cate more entre­pre­neu­rial free­dom and a ligh­ter regu­la­tory bur­den throug­hout 2018. The column of Jörg von...

Let’s pre­vent a data mono­poly on the roads

Data from connec­ted cars does not belong to the manu­fac­tur­ers but to the dri­vers. None­t­he­less, there is a dan­ger of manu­fac­tur­ers acqui­ring a mono­poly as there is no clear legal fra­me­work to stop it. A data pro­tec­tion cam­paign by Euro­pean...

Cross-bor­der risks

The Mobile World Con­gress in Bar­ce­lona has long since moved beyond just being a mobile phone exhi­bi­tion. The Inter­net of Things is making its pre­sence felt – and the threat of cyber­crime is incre­a­sing with every net­work node. As insu­rers, we...

Who is sup­po­sed to manage?

The ver­dict two years after the start of Sol­vency II: the effort and expense impo­sed by the super­vi­sory regime is affec­ting the sec­tor exces­si­vely. Three pro­po­sals to bring rapid change.

Column on the GDPR

Good data pro­tec­tion is essen­tial – within rea­son

Insu­rers know all about imple­men­ting com­plex regu­la­tory requi­re­ments, given the vigo­rous regu­la­tion of their indus­try – nevert­he­less the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR) still poses a major chal­lenge. The column of Jörg von Fürs­ten­werth

Sustaina­ble finance column

It’s not enough to just be green

Insu­rers have always had a par­ti­cu­lar inte­rest in sustaina­ble capi­tal invest­ments as their busi­ness model is based on long-term pro­tec­tion from risks. Eco­nomy and eco­logy can­not be mutually exclu­sive within this model. We accept this chal­lenge –...
